Dunn County blends college-town energy with scenic countryside, offering year-round recreation and a relaxed pace that still keeps you connected. In county seat Menomonie, a walkable downtown frames Lake Menomin, with live performances and historic architecture at the Mabel Tainter Center for the Arts, an ornate landmark with a full calendar of concerts and community events. Outdoor enthusiasts gravitate to the Red Cedar River corridor and the Red Cedar State Trail for cycling, hiking, snowshoeing, and wildlife viewing. Commuters appreciate quick access along I‑94 to regional hubs like Eau Claire, while proximity to St. Croix County expands job options and weekend adventures.
